How to bike in the city (tips for the bicycle curious)

In the last few years, Downtown Los Angeles has seen an influx of people moving into the old buildings that have been converted into beautiful lofts and apartments. Many of these people not only live in Downtown, but they work there as well. This has made owning a car something many of them no longer need. So what are they turning to instead? Cycling.

For many of these new cyclists maneuvering around the city can be a daunting task, especially, if they have never ridden a bike during the mad rush when drivers are trying to get home. We are always looking out for our fellow cyclists and found this pretty informative video. If you are thinking about buying a bicycle to get around Downtown or already have a bike and are not sure how you will deal with city traffic, check it out. While the video doesn’t take place in Downtown Los Angeles, it gives you some good pointers.
